Well, the bug is more annoying than previously though since guile use
select on various ports internally.
The attached patch fixes all occurrences of such uses.
The scm_std_poll function API is ugly, though.
I'd really like this issue being addressed in current guile branch
either with this patch

I can understand.
BTW, the same patch apply to master as well.

Simple and efficient. :-)
We could/should apply it, but I must admit I feel little motivation to

Works for me.
Here is attached a patch over 1-8-8 that seams to fix the problem (I'm

Ok, the problem is straightforward: fport_input_waiting is using select
with a predefined SELECT_SET_SIZE of 1024. Although guile does not see
